ISP responded to the incident at a little after 4 p.m. to East Main Street and North Idaho Street in Wendell. The juvenile had been walking on the west side of Idaho Street when the person tried to cross the intersection. At the same time 26-year-old Trevor Eldredge, of Saint Anthony, was headed south on Idaho Street in a mid-90s semi pulling three hay trailers and was making a right turn onto E Main Street from N Idaho Street when the young person was hit. The juvenile was flown to St. Alphonsus Regional Medical Center with unknown injuries. The intersection was blocked for about two hours. The Gooding County Sheriff's Office assisted ISP with the investigation as well as the Idaho Transportation Department.

UPDATE, 5:40 p.m.: A dispatcher with the Southern Idaho Regional Communications Center told News Radio 1310 that the crash reported in Wendell involved a pedestrian, but referred News Radio 1310 to Idaho State Police for further questions.
